Brief info

Dance has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started dancing at age three and trained with the Atlantic City Ballet Theater and later the Pittsburgh Ballet Theater. During high school, I transferred into the Pre-Professional Program at Point Park University, and I went on to major in Dance at The Ohio State University.

I discovered pole in 2018 when I signed up for an aerial silks workshop and found myself completely captivated by the world of pole dance. From my very first Level 1 series, I was hooked. Pole has become the perfect way to blend my dance background with new challenges in strength, artistry, and expression.

I’m especially drawn to flow-based movement and choreography that merges classical dance with pole. At the studio, I love teaching ContemPolary and Slow Flow classes, as well as dance fitness and HIIT clsses. My favorite thing about pole is how it combines grace with strength—how something so physically demanding can look so effortless.

As a teacher, my biggest joy is seeing students discover their own power and happiness through movement. I want everyone to leave class feeling supported, successful, and empowered. In addition to teaching, I also compete in pole dance competitions, always pushing myself to grow as both a dancer and performer.

Outside the studio, I own and operate a local craft brewery full time—so I’m always on the go! Whether I’m behind the bar or on the pole, dance remains my grounding joy and lifelong passion.
